It's been an unbearable couple of days across the country and in Central New York thanks to a band of heat that's been producing temperatures in the 90s.

There's a possibility of temperatures reaching 100 in Syracuse Thursday, and that's why the National Weather Service has issued an "excessive heat watch" for part of the day.

But is the heat really that bad? We all remember this past winter, right? The snow started in December with two weeks of lake effect snow and it didn't stop until April, leaving us with a record 179 inches of the white stuff.

We want to know, what do you think is worse, the 100-degree heat, or the 179 inches of snow we received last winter? Leave your comment below.

Hot or cold: Which do you prefer?Web team intern Lorenzo Arguello walked around downtown Syracuse Thursday and posed the following question to several people: What would you prefer, 100-degree heat in the summer or 179 inches of snow like we had this past winter? Listen to their answers.

Here's what Central New Yorkers are saying about the heat:

OntheCookout: "All much better than scraping the windshield, starting up the car, shoveling in the bitter wind and pushing cars stuck in snow. Spending money on rock salt and dealing with windburn and crazy winter drivers. I will take 100 degrees anyday. I moved my cousin in the heat in Florida, now that was a ________. It was 94 degrees at 10am."

stinkitup: "i'm stuck in this dreadful cold AC all day. Rather be outside sweating with an ice cold beer in my hand."
